About Preferred Cremation & Burial

Mark Jenkins, owner of Preferred Cremation & Burial, has faithfully served the San Diego community for over 20 years. His combined civic responsibility, corporate, managerial skills and private ownership has established him as one of San Diego’s most experienced, knowledgeable and caring in the management of end of life issues. Mark Jenkins has advanced the idea of a lower-cost funeral alternative to further meet the ever-changing needs of the funeral consumer.

You are assured the peace of mind, integrity and deserving care, expected to aid you through the difficult times of bereavement. Preferred Cremation & Burial provides unsurpassed quality service and merchandise from a trusted name at very reasonable prices.

Preferred Cremation & Burial is able to provide you with tremendous savings for several reasons. Unlike traditional funeral homes, we do not own a huge facility. Our facility is modest. Selection and arrangements are made available to you in our office or the comfort of your home. We do not maintain a large inventory of caskets on the premise. Instead, our selection center is equipped with model displays thereby keeping our inventory costs extremely low. Yet, since we receive seven day a week delivery service, availability is never a problem. Finally, due to our existing infrastructure we are able to share certain economies such as administrative personnel, printing and document services, centralized embalming facilities and automotive equipment. This pooling of resources allows us to further control our overhead expenditures and pass the additional savings along to you, our valued customers.
